Easy to find. Parking was easy. We went during the week which we would advise as opposed the the weekend. We only wish we had made it in time for tea.

We took the Christmas tour and out was very informative. Not only did we see how the Flagler family live, but we learned a lot of American history as well. Highly recommended.

really cool home with history about this family and the expansion of Florida. Basically rich white guy museum, but was pretty cool for a day trip.

Easily one of the best museums I have toured. Audio tour gives a lot interesting historical insight into not only the history of Whitehall, but of live in the gilded age in general. Anyone who enjoys history will absolutely love this place, as almost each room has it's own audio bit. The place itself is astounding, showcasing the amazing architectural style of the era. You can also briefly tour Henry Flagler's personal rail car, and there is a gift shop with plenty of things to purchase including books that go even further into the history of the era. Perhaps the best part is that you can tour the second floor, where a lot of historical sites restrict access to the first floor. This is a must-stop place for anyone in the area.

My favorite museum in Palm Beach County. Whitehall is a beautiful mansion, and his railroad car is pretty cool too. I went here for my 40th birthday, and enjoyed "high tea" in the cafe. My favorite rooms are the library and the formal dining room with that amazing hand carved fire place. This place is filled with lots of cool artifacts, paintings, and sculptures. There's also a nice gift shop too. I've visited here several times, and I always find something new each time I visit. I still haven't seen any ghosts, but I'm always looking! I believe the cafe is open during a certain season of the year. If you get the chance, don't miss out on experiencing high tea with all the tasty treats that come with it. You can also purchase the tea blend in the gift shop. I highly recommend it! Enjoy.

Beautifully restored mansion. Tours are led by knowledgeable docents, or you can take a free recorded tour at your own pace. Reasonably priced. Lots of information is provided. Lovely setting, and guests can wander around the grounds​. Nice gift shop. There is a small restaurant/tea shop, but we got there after it closed. A great way to spend an afternoon!

A beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Everyone should do this at least once.
A real window into the past.
Be sure to check out the train car in the South outside building.response / report this review -

The museum was beautiful inside and out. It took us about an hour to get through with the self guiding tour. Well worth the money spent to get in. The only complaint I had was about the security guard who was extremely unpleasant and is the reason why I would not give this place 5 stars. He followed my sister's and I around and stared us up and down several times making the experience slightly uncomfortable. In addition he was extremely rude to my family while we walked through the self guided tour, telling us to hurry along. Everything else was amazing though. I would recommend visiting.

Stunning example of gilded age architecture and decor! Don't miss the lace exhibit and go on the free docent guided tour. Very worth while! The docent had been there 25 years! He was a wealth of facts not in the brochure.

My husband and I toured the museum on a whim during a vacation recently, and it was probably my favorite excursion we took during our week. The tour size and guide were perfect. Very enjoyable and worth the money! Would go back again with friends / family. Strolling along the water afterward is a nice treat.
